Cai Guo – Qiang: Head On, National Museum

Fabulous exhibition.... are these stuffed wolves ? They reflect a painting which was created from ashes collected from things the artist has blown up ! http://www.nationalmuseum.sg/nms/nms_html/nms_content_6c.asp?content_template=4&content_id=23&tab_id=23&cine_id=2715&fest_id=0 "Although the Berlin Wall is long gone, and the former East Germany and West Germany have reunified, there remain deep and intractable historical issues between the two sides. The 99 life-sized wolves are leaping en masse towards an unseen wall, with those at the front falling from striking the wall while those bringing up the rear continuing surging forward, undeterred. Seen from afar, the leaping wolf pack forms an arc full of force and power, their fierce courage and spirit of warrior camaraderie seemingly serving as a reminder to people: humanity is easily blinded by a kind of collective mentality and action, and is destined to repeat such error to an almost unbelievable degree. The crux of this installation lies just before the glass wall, as the artist reminds people: invisible walls are the hardest to dismantle. The second and third parts of this colossal installation - Illusion II and Vortex - will also be exhibited."

Sir Stamford Raffles

Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles (6 July 1781 – 5 July 1826) was a British statesman, best known for his founding of the city of Singapore (now the city-state of the Republic of Singapore). He is often described as the "Father of Singapore". He was also heavily involved in the conquest of the Indonesian island of Java from Dutch and French military forces during the Napoleonic Wars and contributed to the expansion of the British Empire. Died in debt to East India Company. Would have been forgotten if it wasn't for his wife who had her memoirs published. In 1826, Raffles died of a stroke at his home in London. He was buried at Hendon St. Mary’s, but the then vicar disapproved of Raffles, particularly on his anti-slavery stance, and would not allow him burial in the main body of the church.
